Baking soda. put the squares in a container of some sort. add baking
soda. seal the container and let sit for a while. Use quite a bit of
baking soda.
Sun and air, especially air.
You might try "Febreze" but that might be more expensive.
Charcoal and damp black/white newspaper will also remove odor from
Tupperware-- it might work on fabric too. seal in a container, but keep
the charcoal/newspaper separated from the fabric with clean paper towels
or clean 'rags'.
I would also contact the seller and complain. Let her know you are
unhappy with the smell.
